SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Aug. 28, 2013 – Pragmatic Institute's focus on helping other organizations grow has led to its own continued high rate of growth. The company has achieved a place in the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing companies in America for the seventh time.

The product management and marketing training firm joins GoDaddy.com, Nexus, LivingSocial and other prominent companies featured on this year's list. Despite a stagnant economy, Pragmatic Institute grew its employee base and enjoyed a 67% increase in revenue between 2009 and 2012, the three years Inc. used to determine this year's fastest-growing companies.
